Sing A to Z

Releases

The original release was in 1990 under Elephant Records in Canada, and under A&M Records in the United States. It featured the trio in the middle with an alphabet border. In 1994, Drive Entertainment re-packaged the album after it won the Parent's Choice Award and Elephant was added to the front cover. In 2004, Casablanca Kids Inc. released the album but reverted to the original cover design.

Home Video & DVD

To promote the album, Sharon, Lois & Bram went on tour across Canada and the United States. A 50-minute video was made featuring Sharon, Lois & Bram on stage in Stratford, Ontario on their Sing A to Z Tour. It was re-packaged and re-designed for the Drive Entertainment release as well.

When Casablanca Kids Inc. re-released the album, they also took the 50-minute video and made it into a DVD titled "Sharon, Lois & Bram's ABCs". This was the first DVD in the Sharon, Lois & Bram collection. It featured photo galleries of the trio as well as each individual member. It also included bonus songs and a clip of the opening to their 2nd TV series "Skinnamarink TV". It was released in both the United States and Canada. The Canadian edition featured Sharon near the letter "A", Bram near "B", and Lois near "C", it also titled "Sharon, Lois & Bram ABC's". The American edition featured Lois near "B" and Bram near "C", and the title is slightly different: "Sharon, Lois & Bram: ABC". Also, the color of the alphabet letters varies between the two editions.

In addition, a Songbook titled "Sharon, Lois & Bram Sing A to Z" was published. Illustrated by Kim LaFave, it is full of colorful sketches as well as words and music to many of the songs heard on the album.
